The Rainbow Six Siege Y6S3.3 update was released today, and you better believe we have all the patch notes. There have been a good number of changes to balancing, as well as some tweaks and improvements, and of course some bug fixes. The size of the patch depends on your platform, but it will be at least 1GB, maybe two. Why so large? Some say it’s because that’s standard for a game this size in the modern era, but I know that it’s really because each patch comes with a digitized version of Tom Clancy’s consciousness that he uploaded before he died. Anyway, let’s see what update YS63.3 has in store!

If you’re a PC user, you now have the option of displaying real-time performance metrics in the HUD, with stats such as FPS, latency, and NVIDIA-related metrics. You’ll need to navigate to the General section of the Options menu to get it to work. So, you know, keep that in mind.
I’m here to fix bugs and chew toothpicks, and this is my last toothpick.
